Summary: Two of the 2FOLD members are given the task of finding the one responsible for leaking vital information about the group, who have yet to debut.
Warnings: None.
Characters: Jeong Jaeyoung and Fiona Hwang
"Somebody is leaking information about the group?" Fiona echoes the words Manager Song just spoke.
Ms. Song nods, her lips sat in a firm line. Usually bubbly and friendly, today the manager was very serious and irritated. "The company is trying to identify the culprit. If they are to release too much, the group may be forced to debut much earlier than expected."
Fiona gasps while Jaeyoung - leader for the boys unit - rubs his chin and nods slowly, his face scrunching as he ponders the scenario at hand. "That's really not ideal." He says, annoyance laced his voice.
"I mean, it is creating a buzz but we don't want too much just yet. XXCIT3 is just barely starting to promote and a lot of work and money is being put into that subunit so the leaks could hurt it." Ms. Song sighs and looks down at her phone for a moment before looking back up at the two leaders, "I want you two to keep an eye out on things around here, okay? Ms. Kang is positive the leaker is somebody who is here often. Most likely an employee or trainee. I know it's a lot to ask because you guys are so busy but I believe you can handle it."
Fiona and Jae nod. They knew they could handle the task - both were very responsible and good at managing their time and activities. They were so busy training and preparing for their eventual debut that any inside spies wouldn't expect them, as well.
"Let me know if it becomes too much, okay?" The Manager gives both the trainees a serious look.
Both nodded, "we will, Manager-nim!" Fiona says with a smile. Jaeyoung smiles as well and pats the Manager on the shoulder, "we got this. Don't worry about us."
The two leaders are dismissed and head into the hallway and make their way towards the locker rooms to change for practice. Suddenly, Jaeyoung grabs Fiona's wrist and she turns around, lifting an eyebrow questioningly as she asks, “What’s wrong?”
There’s a pained look on Jaeyoungs face - as if there is something he really wanted to say. Instead, he shakes his head and lets her wrist go. “Ah, nothing. Sorry.” He brushes his hair back and sighs loudly. “I was thinking that I could keep an eye on employees while you slither among the trainees, yeah?” He says in a hushed voice. He was on the companies good side thanks to his families oh-so-generous investments, which were helping to keep it afloat. Due to that, he had the chance to go where trainees and artists typically weren’t allowed. “Of course I’ll assist you when needed,” he adds with a smile.
Fiona smiles back and nods, “sounds good to me.”
In the background - going unnoticed by the two trainees - is a figure who peeks around a corner, phone in hand and camera app open. They snap two photos: a shot of Jaeyoung grabbing Fionas wrist, and one of the two smiling at each other. The figure slips away just as the two trainees turn and head in their direction.
